The Future of Our Bows.

1t stands to reason that all boys cannot
achieve wealth and fame, but as the years
90 by the proportion of the fortunate ones
will constantly grow larger. What is
needed more than anything else to add to
the usefulness and honor Of coming gener
ations is a higher and fuller appreciation
of the dignity of labor. We have in mind
the experience of a Maryland boy who was
left several thousand dollars by his father.
He did not squander it, as many boys
would have done, but he determined to
spend it ALL and he did it in such way
that it became the very best investment
that he could have made. He went &9to
one of the railway shops of the city a.
nominal wages and paid the rest of his eX-
penses out of his little fortune. He
learned all he could in a practical way
there and then entered a first class school
of technology. By the time he graduated
his money was all gone, but he was able
to earn his way. He kept on learning,
and the consequence was that he soon
rose to an excellent position, and to-day
he is in receipt Of a splendid salary and is
considered one of the best men in his pro-
fession in the country.
Mr.. Roberts, the wonderfully able and
astute president of the Pennsylvania rail
road, started out as q chain carrier in
surveying party. Mr.. Frank Thomson,
the vice president OF the same fOaQ, was
an apprentice in the Altoona shops. Mr..
Samuel Spencer, of the Baltimore and
Ohio, and one of the best railroad men in
the country, was clerk not many years
ago at Camden station. Instances innu
merable could be cited, and the moral of
them all would be to learn trade and to
trust to industry and application for pro-
motion. The future of our boys is the
future of our country. We have not the
slightest doubt that it will be brilliant
and substantial; but the individual cases
of marked success must always depend
upon the capacity and industry of the in
dividuals Boys WHO look upon life as a
serious problem that must be worked o1S
and not played out, are able to take care
of themselves. The idlers, who expect te
live off of money which they do not earn,
are the drones in the great national hive
of industry. -BaltimOre American.

SAMOAN AFFAIRS.

1t is quite evident that, whatever ex-
PLANTATION may be given by the German
authorities of the base proceedings their
Commodore in the Pacific has instituted
in Samoa, matters cannot be allowed
to remain as they are. The Govern
ments of the United States and Great
Britain are bound, in the name of ordi-
nary decency, to denounce the acts of
lawlessness reported. If they have
agreed to concede to Germany the
power to control native affairs in the
Navigator group, they are at least bound
TO see that this power is exercised &C
cording to the common dictates of
mercy and justice, as we'll as in har-
mony with the treaty with which all
three Powers are parties. Should Ger
many refuse to observe this reasonable
course, her right must thereby be held
to have been forfeited; and should
Great Britain fail to take the response
bility which will then devolve on her
as she has shamefully avoided that re-
sponsibility in the past, she will have
irreparably weakened the chain of asso-
Citations that at present constitutes the
only union between her and her Austria
lasian colonies.-[N. z. Paper.
